February 20, 2012|By Peter Mucha, Inquirer Staff Writer

Police may have found what they believe is the car used in a fatal hit-run in Bucks County but they're still looking for the driver.

Eric Beck, 36, of Wild Rose Lane, Levittown, was walking home from a party at a Bristol Township bar, when he has struck by a black Audi at about 12:30 a.m. on New Falls Road near Holly Drive, according to police.

As the Audi sped off, a second car struck Beck, but that driver stopped, police said Sunday.

Story continues below.

A severely damage Audi matching the car's description was impounded by police Sunday night.

TV news reports said it was found at a Fairless Hills storage facility.

Beck died after speaking to his mother, Michelle, who arrived on the scene, because he had called her for a ride.

He asked her to hold his hand just before he died, she told reporters.

She was going to meet him at a Walgreen's parking lot.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Bristol Township police at 267-812-3096.
